    Can't access internet even though i can download stuff!

    This sounds funny but it is.
    I was unable to access to the internet,yet i am downloading stuff.
    I tried all my three browsers(internet explorer,firefox,opera)
    All not working.
    There is connection but somehow unable to connect to websites.
    I tried restarting the connection but same problem occurs.
    I gotta keep trying to open and close firefox.
    After like 10 tries i was able to enter internet again,but for a matter of seconds.
    I press search and it just stays there.

    By downloading stuff, what do you mean?

    Have you scanned for malware?

    Purged your system of temporary files and clutter?

    Purging the hard drives of clutter with Windows (XP, Vista or Windows 7) Disk Cleanup, ATF Cleaner or CCleaner. If using CCleaner, uncheck the option to install the Yahoo toolbar during installation. Before first use, go to Options > Settings > Advanced and ensure Only delete files in Windows Temp folders older than 24 hours is unchecked. Know your site credentials (user names and passwords) for sites you frequent before cleaning; you may have to login again at next visit.

    Then I recommend you download and install Malwarebytes's Anti-Malware (MBAM) and scan as follows:
    Check for updates before scanning,
    Select Perform quick scan > Scan,
    When complete, click OK, then Show Results,
    Ensure all is selected, and click Remove Selected,
    When complete, save the log in Notepad to a convenient place for future reference.
    Repeat for all computers in the "Trusted Zone" of your network (your side of the Internet "gateway" - typically the cable or DSL modem).
